About A Risen Christ In Eastertime: Essays On The Gospel
Product description In his other books for Advent, Christmas, and Lent published by The Liturgical Press, Father Brown has made the rich insights of modern biblical exegesis conveniently available for reflection during the great feasts of the liturgical year. Here he does the same for the Easter season by commenting on the Gospel stories of the risen Christ. Rather than focusing on the differences between the evangelists' accounts of the resurrection, Father Brown instead concentrates on how each treatment of the resurrection fits the theology and plan of its Gospel. Those people who afford the Church's liturgical calendar a major role in their spiritual life will appreciate the added meaning Father Brown infuses into these stories that dwell at the heart of our faith.

" The Living Church From the Back Cover Raymond E. Brown, here he does the same for the Easter seasons by commenting on the Gospels stories of the risen Christ. Many, including Brown himself, have written about historical issues in the difficult and very different resurrection narratives given us by the evangelists; but such technical problems are not of concern here. the stress is on how the treatment of the resurrection in an individual Gospel fits the theology and plan of that Gospel. About the Author Raymond E. Brown, S.S., (1928-1998) was the Auburn Distinguished Professor of Biblical Studies at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. He was author of some forty books on the Bible and past president of three of the most important biblical societies in the world. By appointment of two popes (Paul VI in 1972, John Paul II in 1996) Brown was a member of the Roman Pontifical Biblical Commission. Time magazine called him "probably the premier Catholic Scripture scholar of the U.S."
